Abstract: A system is provided that enables glycemic control for a subject. The system includes an insulin delivery unit, a glucose sensor, and a control unit. The control unit includes a processor unit that receives glucose value readings from the glucose sensor, executes an algorithm that predicts a glucose value at a pre-determined time in the future, compares that predicted glucose value to a pre-determined glucose value range, and determines a corrective amount of insulin to be administered when the predictive glucose value lies outside of the pre-determined glucose value range. The control unit also includes a communication unit that transmits the corrective amount to the delivery unit.

Abstract: Pour permettre de traiter une surface (1) au moyen d'un dispositif (2) attirant à lui la surface par dépression, il est dans la plupart des cas nécessaire d'amener un dispositif de traitement sur la surface (1) avec une pression d'appui déterminée. Afin de pouvoir régler la pression d'appui du dispositif de traitement (6) sans que cela s'avère trop coûteux, le dispositif (2) repose sur la surface (1) par l'intermédiaire de trois points, l'un des points d'appui étant formé par le dispositif de traitement (6). Cela permet d'obtenir une répartition précise de la force d'attraction du dispositif (2) contre la surface (1) sur le dispositif de traitement (6) et les deux autres points d'appui (8), de sorte que la force d'appui du dispositif de traitement (6) peut être modifiée de manière ciblée par modification de la dépression entre le dispositif (2) et la surface (1) et peut également être réglée.

Abstract: A strain relief connector for a fiber optic cable has an optical fiber enclosed within a cover having an outer diameter. A relatively long sleeve surrounds the cover and has an inner surface at an inner diameter, the inner diameter being substantially larger than the outer diameter of the cover. Portions of the sleeve and the fiber optic cable are compressed by a die, forming compressed portions having widths substantially larger than their heights and causing the inner surface of the sleeve to frictionally engage the outer surface of the cover layer and the inner surface of the cover to fictionally engage the outer surface of the optical fiber enclosed therein. The length of the sleeve and the configuration of the compressed portion allow a relatively high area of frictional resistance between the buffer layer and the sleeve.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus that can non-invasively identify the present condition of eggs, namely, whether an egg is a live egg, a clear egg, an early dead egg, a middle dead egg, a late dead egg, a rotted egg, a cracked egg, and/or an inverted egg, are provided. An egg is illuminated with both visible and invisible light at wavelengths of between about three hundred nanometers and about eleven hundred nanometers (300 nm - 1,100 nm). Light passing through the egg is received at a detector positioned such that a path of the received light does not pass through an aircell within the egg, except in the case of an inverted egg. The intensity of the light is determined at a plurality of the visible and infrared wavelengths, and a spectrum that represents light intensity at selected ones of the visible and infrared wavelengths is generated. The generated spectrum is compared with one or more spectra associated with a respective known egg condition to identify a present condition of the egg.

Abstract: A non-flammable ternary liquid cleaner is formulated from first, second and third solvents. The first solvent is a hydrofluorocarbon, the second solvent is a dichloroethylene and the third solvent is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon. The hydrochlorofluorocarbon imparts low flammability to the cleaner. The hydrofluorocarbon is present in a concentration of about 10 percent to about 80 percent by weight of the cleaner, the dichloroethylene is present in a concentration of about 10 percent to about 60 percent by weight of the cleaner and the hydrochlorofluorocarbon is present in a concentration of at about 10 percent to about 40 percent by weight of the cleaner. The third solvent is non-flammable and thus renders the ternary cleaner non-flammable.

Title: Method and device of fault location
Inventor: SAHA MURARI
IPC: G01R31/08
Filed: 2001-12-14
Granted: 2011-08-16
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for location of a fault utilizing unsynchronized measurements of three phase voltages and currents acquired at the line terminals without synchronization. Phasors for symmetrical components of the measured quantities are determined and used in the fault location algorithm. According to one embodiment, positive sequence phasors of post-fault quantities are used for estimation of the distance to fault and it is distinctive that such an estimation of a distance to fault is performed without essentially involving iterative techniques. In this embodiment, the fault location algorithm step is performed regardless of the fault type. In later steps, the type of fault may be obtained. According to another embodiment of the invention, at the occurrence of a fault, the type of fault is determined. If it is determined that it is not a three-phase balanced fault, negative sequence phasors are used for the estimation of the distance to fault. On the other hand, if it is a three-phase balanced fault, the incremental positive sequence phasors are used.
